Abstract	Statistics indicate a "one-party" American university, yet Russell K. Nieli discerns the faint but hopeful stirrings of a movement to redress the ideological imbalance in the professoriate. Here and there, across the country, architects are creating new, or revamping existing, departments and curricula to embrace the best elements of the American and Western academic tradition. Preeminent among these efforts is the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions at Princeton University. Since its inception in 2000, the program has altered the liberal presumption that governed discourse at PU, and by garnering enthusiastic support from heretofore disenchanted alumni, it offers an ideal example of how to diversify the ivory tower with a close of the political reality that prevails outside. (Contains 10 notes.) (As Provided).
